Arrangement for programming a system-independent measurement system for work pieces

Arrangement for system-independent programming of a measurement system for work pieces, wherein the measurement system comprises:

• a video measurement module for generating an output signal that contains image data that describes the image of a work piece taken by the video measurement module, whereby the video measurement module includes an output module for outputting the video output signal, and
• an evaluator comprising:
• an input device for inputting the video output signal from the video measurement module,
• a display device for displaying on a display device the image of the work piece taken by the video measurement module, and
• a measurement device for measuring structures, which comprises an image analysis device for recognizing structures in the image of the work piece, and
• a data transfer device that may be attached to the output device of the video measurement module and to the input module of the evaluator for the purpose of transferring the video output signal from the video measurement module to the evaluator, and
• wherein the arrangement for system-independent programming of the measurement system comprises:
• the evaluator of the measurement system, and
• a programming device for programming the measurement system, wherein the programming device for programming the measurement system comprises:
• a device for reading CAD data that describe the geometric dimensions of the work piece,
• a device for processing the CAD data and for displaying on a display device various images of the work piece that may be selected by the user,
• an output device for generating a video output signal that contains image data that describe the image of the work piece selected by the user, and
• an output module for outputting the video output signal,
• wherein the data transfer device is attached to the input module of the evaluator of the measurement system and to the output device of the programming device, such that the evaluator of the measurement system receives the video output signal of the programming device for programming the measurement system.
